If your PCOS symptoms have gotten worse this year, you've probably typed the same question more than once: who is the best doctor for PCOS?
Here's how Dr. Anna Le answers it when you come in for PCOS care at our Annandale, VA office.
How Do I Choose the Best Doctor for PCOS When My Symptoms Keep Getting Worse?
When your symptoms keep getting worse, no matter what you do, you should insist on the best doctor for your PCOS. A consult with a FACOG-certified gynecologist, like Dr. Anna Le, is a great place to start. During your initial visit, you and Dr. Le will discuss your PCOS symptoms over the past year.
If your periods have become irregular, be sure to let her know how far apart they've gotten. For new acne breakouts and facial hair growth, you'll show Dr. Le exactly where they popped up and what treatments you've tried.
Based on your conversation, Dr. Le will likely recommend that you have your hormone levels checked and an ultrasound, which can be performed at the same visit. Once Dr. Le receives your results, you will sit down together and go over them.
Will I Have to Switch Practices to See a PCOS Fertility Specialist?
No. At Anna Health the fertility team is part of the same practice. If you're thinking about pregnancy in the next year or two, Dr. Le will refer you directly to Dr. Ziad Hubayter, who leads that program and completed his reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at Johns Hopkins, and your labs and ultrasound go with you.
Your records stay right here, so you won't have to start your PCOS story over with a new practice. Every one of our fertility services is offered by the same team, and Dr. Le stays involved in your care.
In the meantime, you may notice your cycle settle within a few months on the right birth control or metformin, while the acne and hair growth tend to ease more slowly, so Dr. Le will check in with you along the way.
